Barack Obama, "cannot credibly talk of love of country while simultaneously dodging the word and concept of patriotism." In fact, Obama has not "dodg[ed] the word and concept of patriotism" -- invoking them in numerous speeches going back to at least 2002. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803110010 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 19:39:55 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802260013 Jonah Goldberg falsely asserted that Sen. Barack Obama's "campaign headquarters in Houston had a Che Guevara-emblazoned Cuban flag hanging on the wall." In fact, the office in question is not "Obama's campaign headquarters in Houston," nor is it an official campaign office controlled by the Obama campaign. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802260013 Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:36:07 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802250008 On <em>Glenn Beck</em>, National Review Online editor-at-large Jonah Goldberg said: "I think one of the things that is decidedly fascistic, or at least just a bad idea, is looking for silver bullets. You know, when [Sen.] Barack Obama campaigns, he's basically saying, 'I'm a silver bullet. I'm going to solve all your problems just by electing me.' FDR, Hitler, all these guys, they basically said, 'All your problems can be solved.' " http://mediamatters.org/items/200802250008 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:37:13 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140003 In an email to readers encouraging recipients to read the <em>National Journal</em> article on the magazine's 2007 vote ratings, the National Journal Group wrote: "In 2004, President Bush invoked Senator John Kerry's liberal Vote Ratings score repeatedly on the campaign trail and at their head-to-head debates. We anticipate similar attention for our Vote Ratings across the 2008 election cycle." Numerous media did follow suit and tout the <em>Journal</em>'s 2003 rating of Kerry. And once again, the media are giving the 2007 ratings the "similar attention" the National Journal Group anticipated -- despite the <em>Journal</em>'s acknowledgment that the methodology it used to rate Kerry was flawed. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140003 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:56:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801170014 On <em>Morning Joe</em>, Jonah Goldberg stated: "Hillary Clinton is essentially like the agricultural minister from the Soviet Politburo in 1976. She's sort of, you know, the product of a sort of bureaucratic, Walter Mondale machine, 'check off the right constituencies' kind of thing." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801170014 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:56:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801100016 Discussing his most recent book on MSNBC's <em>Morning Joe</em>, National Review Online editor-at-large Jonah Goldberg said that Benito Mussolini is tied to the American liberal movement because he "was a socialist." When co-host Joe Scarborough asked whether he was suggesting "you can draw a line from Mussolini" to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton or to Sen. Barack Obama, Goldberg replied, "Well, I'm saying you can draw a line, but it's not a straight one." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801100016 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:05:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710030006 On <em>The Big Story</em>, discussing Rush Limbaugh's recent "phony soldiers" comments, Jonah Goldberg asserted: "I've never heard actually a conservative basically flat-out deny the patriotism of the opposition." In fact, Limbaugh himself has done so. For instance, on his August 23, 2005, radio show, Limbaugh said, "It's time for somebody to tell the people on the left, you're damn right we're questioning your patriotism." http://mediamatters.org/items/200710030006 Wed, 3 Oct 2007 12:54:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200705160001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200705160001 Tue, 15 May 2007 20:00:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702130005 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:12:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200701240004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701240004 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 12:27:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609010001 Numerous media figures have asserted that a recent report purportedly identifying former deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage as Robert Novak's original source for Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative prove that Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby were not involved in the leak of her identity. However, Armitage's role as Novak's first source is not inconsistent with Rove's and Libby's involvements in the leak -- both were original sources of the information for two other reporters. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609010001 Thu, 31 Aug 2006 21:39:26 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606280004 In his newest column, Jonah Goldberg furthered falsehoods and baseless assertions on the NSA's warrantless domestic eavesdropping program, including writing that President Bush's approval ratings "went up" following the public disclosure of the NSA program. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606280004 Wed, 28 Jun 2006 15:05:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200603270001 After the contentious exchange between Hearst Newspapers columnist Helen Thomas and President Bush during Bush's March 21 press conference, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly and several other conservative commentators rushed to attack Thomas. O'Reilly accused her of "hat[ing] Bush and try[ing] to undermine everything he does," and even suggesting that if he were Bush, he "would have laid her out." Several other conservative media figures -- including Jonah Goldberg, Fred Barnes, Glenn Beck, and Tucker Carlson -- have followed suit, sometimes with highly personal attacks. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603270001 Mon, 27 Mar 2006 11:38:52 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200603240002 <em>Los Angeles Times</em> columnist Jonah Goldberg professed to be "baffle[d]" that "the only argument" that opponents of the Iraq war claim that President Bush made in justifying the March 2003 invasion of Iraq is that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and planned to use them against the United States. In fact, it was Bush himself who stressed in the weeks leading up to the invasion that disarming and removing Saddam were necessary because of the threat that he would use WMD against the United States. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603240002 Fri, 24 Mar 2006 09:13:11 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200603030002 In recent days, numerous pundits have summarily dismissed concerns about the takeover of operations at six U.S. ports by a company owned by the government of Dubai, a member state of the United Arab Emirates, despite the fact that the Bush administration opted not to conduct the 45-day investigation into the deal's national security implications provided for -- and, critics argue, required -- by federal law. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603030002 Fri, 3 Mar 2006 12:22:36 EST
